| Gort | Since it is not possible to get runflat tires in the original size, it looks like I'll be replacing the runflats with non-runflat tires, so joining AAA seems like the thing to do since I would need a rollback to get the car to a tire store. I've never been a member of AAA. Any comments? |
| JeraneW | Keep in mind about roll-backs. The ramp on most is too steep for the nose of the Prowler and if there is need of rescue, the driver may need a couple wood planks to decrease the incline of the ramps. Also, the driver needs to know where to attach tow cable; see your owner's manual. |

page 115 of the owners manual says refer to the "Service" manual for that information. I don't have a service manual. The owners manual does say to use a flatbed only. Do you happen to know where the tow line goes when pulling the Prowler up on the rollback? |
| garysss | Do A search. |
| garysss | You should print this out and put in glove box.

| JeraneW | Now you can see why this is a great site. Buy your service manual from him. It will come in handy in the long run. |

THANKS. I'll keep that in the car for sure. |
| George Johnson | I have AAA Insurance just for that reason. |
| VinceM | Another thing to consider keeping in the car is a set of 4 axle straps in case the rollback doesn't have them. It can save potential damage to the suspension.

| ed monahan | I carry a "side cutter" pliers to grab and pull out a nail or screw. I carry a plug kit to fix the hole and a small compressor with me. When on a long trip I usally carry a drill in case I have to clean out the hole a little better or make it slightly larger if it is a tiny nail. |
| HappyKat | Hello Gort, nice ride! AAA can't hurt, cheap insurance and offer other great value added items such as trip planners and discounts on many items and destinations. |
| MIKE GATLIN | Standard AAA coverage probably won't cover problems with a Prowler trailer if you are pulling one. |
| carguybill | I suggest that you check with your insurance company. For example, I have State Farm and my experience has been their road service coverage is excellent. ------------------

| Y2KRedProwler | I too have State Farm Insurance and added that coverage to my policy a few years back. I just looked and it costs me $3.50 a year for the "emergency road service coverage." This message has been edited by Y2KRedProwler on 05-08-2013 at 07:28 PM |
| SuperKat | AAA has been good for me for many years
Trailers including car haulers and prowler trailer can be added with the RV package. I do suggest that you purchase a membership with a longer tow allowance to avoid extra charges for distance.Good Luck |

Well. I finally woke up !! I also have State Farm and have had the Emerg. Service for 30 years. I've never used it. My agent said the number is on the back of your card...smiles Getting old isn't as much fun as I thought. |
